3) Make it easy for an upcoming patch from Souptick, which aims to
    convert __get_user_pages_fast() to use a gup_flags argument, instead
    of a bool writeable arg.  Also, if this series looks good, we can
    ask Souptick to change the name as well, to whatever the consensus
    is. My initial recommendation is: get_user_pages_fast_only(), to
    match the new pin_user_pages_only().

Shall I hold my changes till 5.8-rc1 , when this series will appear upstream ?

I don't really see any problem with your posting something that is based on
the latest linux-next (which has my changes now). Should be fine. And in
fact it would be nice to get that done in this round, so that the pin* and
get* APIs look the same.


thanks,
